For hundreds of years we survived on a horse economy – from agriculture and war to hunting and racing, horses were the back bone of many industries. Learn about the lives of ‘Charlie’ the last railway horse and ‘Robin’ the pit pony along with fine examples of their working harness including horse brasses, horseshoe patterns, saddlery and a fascinating yet eye-watering array of antiquarian vets’ equipment and farriers’ tools.
